Extract

In a former number of this Journal (No. 11) attention was drawn in a leading article to the breaking up of the Military Lunatic Hospital at Yarmouth, Norfolk, and in the next number I was led to make one or two remarks on the question, actuated by a natural sympathy with the present sad state of my former patients.
